==Greater Rift Keys==
==A new kind of rift key was added in the [[Patch 2.1]], tied to [[Greater Rifts]]. To open these higher levels of Rifts, players must farm [[Greater Rift if Forward==Keys]] which are only dropped by [[Rift Guardians]]. Greater Rift Keys come in several quality levels, with higher level keys opening higher level Rifts.
Unlike normal Rift keys, a greater rift keys is required from each character in the game who wants to enter the Rift. Thus there is no free-loading or entering a Rift that someone else has opened, as Greater Rifts are serious business; timed dungeons with almost all of the rewards coming from the Rift Guardian, which players must rush to reach in time.  ==Rift it Forward== A popular player innovation to share the costs of Rift Keys and rewards of Nephalem Rifts is known as [[Rift it Forward]]. This is a sort of community-minded exploit where a player spends his rift keys to open a rift for a powerful character, in exchange for the reward from the Rift Guardian and rift completion.
The usual technique is for a powerful player to solo a Rift on a high difficulty level, then to use the public or clan chat to offer spots in his game to other players. A weaker character or characters join in, share the reward when the [[Rift Guardian]] is killed and the Rift is completed, and then open up a new Rift for the powerful player. The weaker characters leave the game then, so as to remove the multiplayer scaling up of monster hit points, and hope to join in again once the Rift is nearly cleared.
